Cost of a Bedroom: What to Expect

Furnishing a bedroom involves selecting both functional furniture and decorative pieces that complete the space. While some may need just the basics, such as a bed, mattress, and nightstand,  others may want to include seating, mirrors, dressers, lighting, and accessories.

The following chart outlines common bedroom furnishing items and their average cost ranges:

This wide range accounts for budget furniture up to designer-quality pieces made from solid hardwoods, custom finishes, and handcrafted details.

How to Create a Bedroom Furniture Budget

Before setting a budget, consider the room’s function, size, and how often it will be used. A master bedroom typically deserves a higher investment than a guest room or a child’s space that may evolve over time.

Start by listing essential furniture items like a bed frame, mattress, nightstands, dresser, lighting, window treatments, and decor. Focus your budget on functional needs first, rather than home improvements like flooring or paint.

Take inventory of what you already own. Reusing or updating existing pieces can help lower costs while maintaining personal style.

Once you have your list, decide where to invest more, usually on items used daily like your mattress or dresser, and where you can spend less, such as accessories or accent furniture.

Lastly, set a flexible price range to accommodate extra costs like delivery, customization, or seasonal promotions. This ensures your budget aligns with your priorities and provides room for smart upgrades.

Factors That Affect Bedroom Furniture Costs

Several elements will influence your final costs. Understanding these variables helps you make informed decisions as you build your furniture budget:

Room Size and Use
A larger master bedroom typically requires more furniture and accessories compared to a smaller guest room or a child’s bedroom. The function of the space, whether it's used solely for sleep or also for work, storage, or lounging, will determine what types of furnishings are needed.

Quality of Materials
Furniture made from solid wood, such as oak or maple, will cost more than items made from engineered wood or veneers. Upholstery fabric options, including performance fabrics or genuine leather, also influence pricing.

Craftsmanship and Brand Reputation
Handcrafted or designer-brand furniture often comes with a premium price but may offer longer-lasting value and warranties.

Customization and Features
Custom finishes, hardware upgrades, or additional functional features like built-in charging ports or soft-close drawers can increase the total cost.

Type of Retailer
Prices may differ significantly between big-box retailers, local stores, and high-end specialty furniture makers. Independent furniture retailers like La-Z-Boy tend to offer higher-quality options with better customer support and long-term guarantees.
